Yesterday I received a letter from William Hill the bookmaker inviting me to open a pre-approved credit account with a credit limit of £250 and a £50 free bet thrown in for good measure.
Yesterday saw the conviction of one Kevin Foster from Doddington near Sittingbourne for running a £34 million pyramid scam which preyed on people on low incomes.
Foster had over 8,000 people in his scheme which promised returns of up to 500%.
Of course there are more sophisticated forms of gambling as Lloyds Names found out to their last pennies a few years ago.
